Changing the theme to Adwaita still keeps orange elements

[claudio@ubuntu]

On Ubuntu 17.10 (amd64), when selecting "Adwaita (default)" in Themes in "Tweaks" the theme is applied. However, orange is still used all over the place:
- background box around application while alt+tabbing.
- volume and brightness indicators.
- Dock: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1725536
- Border windows in exposé like effect (triggered by "Activities").
- ...

This happened with every Ubuntu-packaged theme I tried (Numix, etc).

Expected: replacing of orange by the native Adwaita colors.
Happened: orange all over the place

1. You could install gnome-session, reboot and then choose GNOME from the gear button on the login screen after selecting your user name.
2. You could try installing and enabling the user themes extension and then choose a different Shell theme. (I haven't tried this)

(Those two suggestions are "or". You probably don't need to do both.)

Thank you, Jeremy.

I prefer not to go for option 1 because I like most of the Ubuntu adaptations and what I don't like is easy to adapt (e.g. full height dock).

Option 2 does indeed the trick, however it's not that straight forward to download Adwaita now it's the default theme. I installed Minwalta for now (I need to catch a plain :) ).

Thank you,

C.
